    • Make Use OfHow Does Linux Help Reduce E-Waste?

      While many proprietary OS vendors have stopped supporting older hardware, Linux continues to power such low-end devices to prevent e-waste disposal.

      E-waste, or electronic waste, is a big problem. With old electronic equipment including used PCs getting thrown away, hazardous chemicals are regularly being introduced into the environment.

      With Linux, it's possible to resurrect old PCs or repair them so that you can use them longer, which in turn, reduces the amount of e-waste.

      • TechTargetBasic virsh network commands to know

        The virsh program, or command line utility, is an admin's one-stop shop to manage virtual domains. The virsh commands let admins create, pause, restart and shut down guest VMs, as well as view networks, network information and autostart networks. Note that virsh is also, itself, a command.

        Admins might wonder why they should know the virsh utility instead of the commands that ship with VirtualBox or Ansible. Most often, cloud-native VMs don't use either of those technologies, so admins who know how to use a more universal tool, such as virsh, are prepared for just about any VM management or virtual network scenario.

      • OpenSource.comGet started with NetworkManager on Linux | Opensource.com

        Most current Linux distributions use NetworkManager for creating and managing network connections. That means I need to understand it as a system administrator. In a series of articles, I will share what I've learned to date and why I think NetworkManager is an improvement over past options.

        Red Hat introduced NetworkManager in 2004 to simplify and automate network configuration and connections, especially wireless connections. The intent was to relieve users from the task of manually configuring each new wireless network before using it. NetworkManager can manage wired network connections without interface configuration files, although it uses network connection files for wireless connections.

        In this article, I'll review what NetworkManager is and how to use it to view network connections and devices for Linux hosts. I'll even solve a couple of problems in the process.

      • Unix MenStellar Repair for MySQL: Linux Version Review

        MySQL is one of the most widely used database technologies for storing business- and organization-critical data. While MySQL is reliable, computers have the tendency to fail, and issues such as hardware failure and bugs can cause databases to corrupt.

        Besides those issues, users also have to worry about protecting their MySQL server from crashing for any reason if they want to prevent corruption.

        Unfortunately, guaranteeing that a database will never go corrupt isn’t possible. However, it is possible to repair and recover corrupt databases using a powerful MySQL database recovery software such as Stellar Repair for MySQL.

        The tool is available for both Windows and Linux operating systems. You can use it with CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, and 19.10. It is also compatible with Windows Vista through 10, and Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012.

        We’ve reviewed the tool in this post to determine whether it delivers on its promise of recovering broken databases.

        The Windows and macOS versions were untouched, as the Linux version had a "severe performance regression". The cause was an issue with "OpenGL call lists" that affected AMD GPU drivers (NVIDIA was fine). Apart from that a few of the techy bits behind the scenes were updated like MonoKickstart and SDL2, with 32-bit also being dropped from the main game (although available as a "linux32" Beta.

  • Leftovers

    • Fewer Nice Days

      Though we are now a month into spring in the northern hemisphere, local temperatures have tended to remain stubbornly cold. Daytime highs will slowly creep up to around 15 degrees Celsius over the range of about half a week, only to crash back down to near-freezing the next day. The weather in the central United States tends to be unpredictable during this time of year, but I had hoped we would have had more balmy days by now.

      This part of the world is subject to large swings in temperature throughout the year. Summer highs can soar up to 40 C and beyond, while winter lows can dip below -20 C. It seems one of the effects of climate change has been that such temperature swings have become more pronounced, leading to more intensely-cold winters, more brutally-hot summers, and shorter periods of mild weather in between.

           I have seen the light … or at least a dim ray of inspiration at the end of a very long and dark tunnel. That light comes by way of ONLYOFFICE. You see, I’m always looking for outstanding solutions for problems that shouldn’t exist. One such problem is creating an in-house, cloud-based document system that doesn’t require the deployment of a platform that tries to do too much. That’s one of the main reasons I was drawn to the ONLYOFFICE document server.

          Now that ONLYOFFICE can be easily deployed with Docker (find out how in How to deploy the ONLYOFFICE Workspace Community Edition on Ubuntu Server 20.04), I decided to see how easy it would be to create an in-house system I can use to manage documents outside of my usual Google Docs. After all, the idea of keeping more sensitive documentation on a third-party host doesn’t exactly fit within the best-laid plans of mice and men.

        • PurismThe Future of Social Media Depends on You

          What if social media platforms like Twitter did not force-feed a perpetual stream of manipulated content specifically targeting you? What if they did not track you at all? Or sell to you or monetize your data? As the conversation intensifies over the ownership of Twitter and its future, we really have to think about whether we are really inching towards a brighter future?

          Their founders may have envisioned these mainstream social media platforms as “inclusive town squares”, in their current form, they have turned into monstrous mavens that control, track and manipulate critical information in the internet age. These platforms have struggled to balance the tightrope between encouraging free speech and pinning down agents of misinformation. What started as tools to cater to small communities are now in the middle of intensifying global maelstrom of misinformation.

          Reality check: these social media channels valued worth billion of dollars are now potent mediums of manipulating the masses, selling data and harming the digital freedom of millions of people.

        A cyber weapon jointly developed by the US' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and defense giant Northrop Grumman has recently been exposed by Chinese cybersecurity experts.

        The cyber weapon shows that the specter of the US military-industrial complex has fully penetrated international networks and it continues to foster the US' hegemony in cyberspace, experts said.

        According to a report sent to the Global Times on Tuesday by the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center, the platform, named "Beehive," is a powerful cyber weapon of the CIA characterized by advanced design and operations. The weapon clearly shows the CIA's capabilities in the field of cyber warfare.

    • Censorship/Free Speech

    • Internet Policy/Net Neutrality

      • I'm not giving up on Gemini.

        The current discourse in geminispace, at least that segment of it I have a window onto, is that a prominent Free Software author and blogger who is noted for promoting Gemini in the technical spaces of the WWW, has decided to stop adding to his gemlog. Geminispace doesn't produce a lot of what he wants to read, while the WWW does. I am not going to link to his post, nor to any of the direct responses to it. I think they promote a "Gemini is dead" discourse that misses a lot of the point of the smol net (Gemini, Gopher, to a certain extent telnet BBSes and Usenet), which is that it's a slower experience, and that it's okay that it's slower.

        Personally, I'm happy with the kind of content I find. Not much of it is tech stuff, and that's good. What tech stuff there is, is mostly retrocomputing, permacomputing, and small, weird devices. I do wish people would stop talking about the technical side of Gemini on Gemini; it's finished, there's no need to discuss it. But most of what I read is intensely personal. Honest to goodness diaries, logs of nature seen on daily walks, tales of what people are reading or learning or listening to, weird short fiction. I'm sure all that stuff exists on the web, but it's buried among all the things that are optimized for your attention. And truth be told, on the web I might be bored by some of these things, or have no urge to seek them out.
